COMPOSITION: FRAME WITHIN A FRAME
BHASKAR PAUL
Composition is a way of art, by which the ancient artists expressed their creations
in the form of paintings. With the advancement of human civilization, photography
came to the world not only to capture the memories but also to create the art in a
different way. The camera is intelligent enough; we just need to know the
limitations and use it. In the field of photography there is no hard and fast rule. But
we have got some guidelines as composition rules to make the art of photography
better. In the last issue of Inside Photography, I discussed about the composition
rules through lead line. In this issue I will discuss about one of the important and
fascinating composition rules “frame within a frame”.
I was a student of
mathematics and there was a
theory Nested Interval theory
and my teacher taught me
that theory as a mosquito net
is inside a mosquito net,
which is inside another net
and that is inside another net
and then at the center a
mosquito and that mosquito is
our main point of attraction.
In this composition rules,
things are just like that. Frame
within a frame in our
composition can totally blow
our minds and can change a
simple & dull photo into an
interesting one.
